If I understand you correctly you enter: http://www.example.com/ but then "magically" you see that the browser ends up being at http://www.example.com/users/login is that right? I think there is a point that you are missing. If so then it is because the site you went to has decided that the user was not logged in and sent the browser a redirect. The browser followed the redirect from the first url to the second url. Presumably to allow the user to login. After the user has logged in then presumably they would no longer be redirected. If the web site has coded for it then after logging in then it may send yet another redirect and send the browser back to the original URL. This type of redirection is very common. You can make these redirections more visible by using a tool such as wget to show you the headers. wget -S -O/dev/null http://www.example.com/ I expect you will see something similar to this line in the output. Location: http://www.example.com/users/login Sites will routinely redirect a browser from one location to another such as to login when trying to access a portion of the site that needs authorization. It is doing something that is necessary. This isn't something that you want to hide in the location bar. Bob
